The forest of Ubud Monkey Forest is a protected nature reserve of about 12.5 hectares of hilly jungle. Here you will find at least 115 different species of trees and countless more species of plants and flowers. Apart from monkeys, the boos are also home to other wildlife including deer, civets, reptiles and many species of birds. When you enter the park you get the feeling that you have landed in the middle of a large jungle. For a moment you forget that the forest is surrounded by the city, villages, fields and rice paddies.
Within Hinduism one strives for a harmonious relationship between man and nature. Many plants and animals, including the monkeys, have a religious function in Bali. Many trees in the park are sacred because they play an important role in Balinese rituals. In particular, the tree species Majegan and Bandak Pule are significant because of their spiritual functions.
